the reference axes at E. A force F⃗1 equal to 12 kN is applied parallel to the y-axis at point B. A second force F⃗2 of 20 kN is applied at D parallel to z. A cable between points A and B is supporting the bar from rotating about the x-axis. The bar is also supported by a cylindrical hinge at E which can react with three forces
A curved bar BCDE is shown in the figure with origin of the reference axes at E. A force F⃗1 equal to 12 kN is applied parallel to the y-axis at point B. A second force F⃗2 of 20 kN is applied at D parallel to z. A cable between points A and B is supporting the bar from rotating about the x-axis. The bar is also supported by a cylindrical hinge at E which can react with three forces along each coordinate axis and with moments about the y and z axes, respectively. Point A has coordinates {x = 10.0,y = −0.8,z = 0.0} m. Please do:
1. Draw the Free Body Diagram (FBD) of the structure.
2. Find the reactions at E and the tension in the cable AB. Hint: The segment BC of the curved bar is oriented parallel to z.
